Hello :-)
I've just changed the layout because the previous one didn't allow to leave any comments.
The Postcrossing Project is 6 years old!
"The Postcrossing project was started by Paulo Magalhães from Portugal as a side project while he was a student. Paulo loves to receive mail and postcards in particular; from friends, family or from anywhere in the globe. The more random the place and person, the better. He knew more people shared the same interest, but there was no good way yet to connect them across the planet.
And that's how he got the initial idea of creating an online platform to support this offline hobby. The goal: to connect people across the world through postcards, independent of their location, age, gender, race or beliefs.
After playing with the idea for a while, Paulo started to create the website in his free time. Friends helped testing, Ana Campos designed the Logo and after much indecision about the name, on July 14th, 2005 the Postcrossing Project website was open to everyone for free."
Happy Birthday, Postcrossing!
Have a nice day,
Ola
And, did you notice, they are allowing everyone (until midnight in Europe) to send 6 extra postcards today? The only trouble is, so many people are trying that it's extra, extra slow on the site. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, everyone can send 6 extra postcards :) I requested the addresses when everyone was sleeping and it was not so slow :P But I have to send so many cards that I'll probably go bankrupt!
